<li>Click and save these four dependencies to your Desktop:

Line 57 ⟶ 54:
===Install the Twitter project dependencies===
Unzip the file you just downloaded. Open a command prompt and navigate to the unzipped folder. For example, if you extracted the folder to /home/myname/Desktop/PythonWorkshop-Twitter-master, the command
<pre>
cd /
</pre>
will
<pre>
Line 69 ⟶ 65:
</pre>
will show you the source code files in that directory. In this directory are five folders: Twitter (the main folder) and four dependency folders (simplejson-3.3.0, python-oauth2-master, httplib2-0.8, and python-twitter-1.0). Three of the dependency subfolders have an installer script that we'll need to run at a command prompt to install the software. For each dependency (in the order: simplejson-3.3.0 python-oauth2-master httplib2-0.8) navigate to the folder using cd. For example:
will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "setup.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:▼
<pre>
cd simplejson-3.3.0
</pre>
▲
<pre>
Line 75:
</pre>
type in your password, and hit enter to install
To return to this main folder, use the cd command again to move up one directory:
Navigate to the 3 other dependency directories and run▼
<pre>
cd ..
</pre>
<pre>
Line 83 ⟶ 90:
</pre>
in all of them to install those dependencies as well.
If you get an error like:
===Download the Twitter project===▼
<pre>
ImportError: No module named setuptools
</pre>
ask an instructor for help.
Now use cd to move into the python-twitter-1.0 folder. This time we will run the two following commands to install the dependency:
<pre>
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
</pre>
And type in your password when prompted.
Within the python-twitter-1.0 folder, run
<pre>
python twitter_test.py
</pre>
After it runs, it should state that it ran 41 tests on the code, and the final line should say "OK." If your test failed, ask an instructor for help.
After successfully testing the dependencies, use the cd command again to navigate to the Twitter folder. Use the ls command again to view the files in this folder. One of the files is "twitter_functions.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Open this file in your text editor and find the line that says:
<pre>
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'We will give this to you in class :)'
</pre>
Change the string to the consumer secret string that we will give you in class. Save the file and go back to the command line. Now type:
<pre>
Line 113 ⟶ 129:
</pre>
at the command prompt to execute the twitter_api.py Python script. You should see the text from 20 tweets containing the word "Python" printed to the screen. If you don't, let a staff member know.
===Success!===
